Patterson for Sanders. It would be nice to have the Larry Sanders Show as the Rockets' young backup big coming off the bench to relieve Asik going forward.

Patterson pick 14 2010. Sanders pick 15 2010. I wonder if he was on moreys draft board. Patterson was top 5.
He got a triple double the other night agasint the Woves. 12 pts, 10 rebs, 10 swats.
They got an awesome core of young bigs in Sanders, Udoh, Henson and Ilyasova. Some solid vets to go along with them as well, Dalembert, Pryzbill and Gooden.
Sanders is better on the boards & the defensive side of the ball. Patterson is equally as good on the offensive side, his 3 point range has added another threat to his offensive game.
Who's better? Well that depends on what your teem needs. At this stage I would have to go with Patterson, slightly...because of his ability on offence, but also because he has shown flashes of what he can do on D.
( plus he is a Rocket)

I think at this point in their careers, Sanders is the better player without question
But remember pat has been injured so we are yet to see his true ability at this stage in his progression (and if these 20 point games are indicating anything, he could be pretty solid)
